Our interview with Zohran Mamdani is relentless. Zohran—a politician running to be the next mayor of New York City—took time out of his extremely busy schedule to check in with us on the first suit he ever bought from an illegal street fair, reviewing the gametape from the first debate and the bars he left in the chamber, hilarious and pointed criticism of Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams, addressing NYC's affordability crisis plus we have some policy recommendations for him, he's not hiding a child, his coalition is a movement that will accept you with open arms, a quick game of choice rank voting some of the city's most iconic nuisances, assuming he wins will he stay in Queens or post up in Gracie Mansion, if he drops an inshallah you already know he's punting, a certain opponent's rumored nipple piercings and confirmed campaign finance missteps, knowing the difference between lecturing and listening is how you bring voters back into the tent, so-called radical ideas are actually necessary and achievable and he can back it up despite the criticisms of his lack of experience, a fair weather Knicks fan state of the union, as a rapper himself what MCs he thinks might make good mayors, our mutual friend Heems actually got him into politics, what his filmmaker mother thinks of his social media, even if you're running for office and you have no free time you still have the dulcet tones of Rae Sremmurd, unwinding with the other Mark Walberg on Temptation Island and much more on Zohran Memdani's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.


In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
